The hardware specs mentioned in the post aren’t too harsh either:
MAC CLIENT FOR GUILD WARS 2 PC
So whether you’re a PC or a Mac, or both, we’ll see you in-game! This means that future updates to Guild Wars 2 will be available for both platforms simultaneously. To bring Guild Wars 2 to the Mac, ArenaNet worked with our partners at TransGaming, whose Cider technology allows us to mirror the game experience as closely as possible between the PC and Mac. Even though it’s a beta, the Mac client does connect to the same live environment that the PC client connects to. Review the beta hardware specification, and understand that your overall experience will be better when we release the final version. Performance and system requirements aren’t finalized. Keep in mind as you play the Mac Beta that it is a beta product. If you have any questions, check out our Mac FAQ. Just log in to and click Download Client to get started.
All you need is an active Guild Wars 2 account to download the Mac Beta client. The Mac Beta is available to anyone who has purchased or purchases Guild Wars 2. We’re as excited as anyone to play Guild Wars 2 on OS X. We offer them as part of our employee laptop subsidy program, and our president Mike O’Brien is rarely seen without his Mac laptop. On top of it all, ArenaNet staffers are big fans of Macs. The ability to play together with your friends is one of the underlying principles of Guild Wars 2, and providing a Mac client means that friends and guildmates can play together regardless of what operating system they favor. Anyone who purchases Guild Wars 2 can now play it on both PC and Mac.īringing Guild Wars 2 to the Mac is huge for us, because it introduces the game to an entire group of players who are often ignored by game developers. It shares the same features and connects to the same live game servers as the PC client. The Mac Beta client is available immediately for all Guild Wars 2 players.
MAC CLIENT FOR GUILD WARS 2 MAC OS
Today we’re happy to announce another major milestone in the development of Guild Wars 2: going forward, ArenaNet will also be supporting the game on Apple’s Mac OS X.
ArenaNet have just announced that GW2 is ocming to the Mac and a beta version is already avilable for download. Ok I have to admit this has come as a major surprise.
